About PRO Richmond

Owner

Walter Cornett joined PRO in 2009 seeking help with Walter Cornett Landscaping. Soon he was moderating a team of his own, then opening new teams, which progressed to mentoring multiple teams and when the founder decided to take PRO statewide, he became the first area director. In 2014 a deal was struck and he became the owner of the first territorial market, PRO Richmond. This market includes the counties of Chesterfield, Henrico and Hanover and the city of Richmond.

During this process his landscaping company continued to grow and he became more and more passionate about “Networking” and being able to help others build, grow and manage their businesses and careers. The majority of his time now is spent meeting with members and prospective new members and coaching them on the modern landscape of networking.

The Founder

Mike Short founded PRO to create something different and something that was MORE THAN NETWORKING. His passion for genuinely trying to help people is demonstrated in the philosophies and teachings of PRO. Currently Mike has taken the organization statewide with teams in the Williamsburg, Tidewater, Northern Virginia, Charlottesville and other areas throughout the state.
